"Although this lake is shallow, but if you taste it carefully, the lake water is salty, and this place is probably a sea of ​​remnants." Zhu Ji said after dipping his finger in the lake water and tasting it.

"Can Hai?" Du Nan was stunned.

"Sometimes this kind of phenomenon occasionally occurs inland. It is the place where the sea was originally, but because of the sudden environmental change, the sea is divided. The original sea has turned into a lake, and this kind of sea can be called the residual sea.” Zhu Ji said, looking back at Du Nan’s dazed look, pointing to his head for a while and smiling: “From that guy’s memory See it, let’s sell it now, but I have seen similar records in the classics library before.”

Du Nan: ...you are really kind...

They decided to leave the lake and go out to see if they could meet anyone and find out where this place was.

"Ride Hong Miruo, you haven't ridden a dragon yet!" Du Nan said to Zhu Ji, patting Hong Miruo's back.

Looking at the half-grown young man and the red dragon looking forward to him, Zhu Ji was startled, smiled slightly, and then walked to Hong Miruo's side. He only lifted one leg, and immediately felt his waist being squeezed. Nan held onto it, and helped him to ride on Hong Xiruo's back gently but forcefully, and helped him to position his feet. Du Nan patted his back after a long while: "You have to lean forward slightly. , because if Hong Xie doesn’t have a rein, it will be more difficult to ride, but if Hong Xie is smart, you just need to lean forward a little bit to cooperate with him, and you can ride very steadily.”

"By the way, you can grab the two tufts of its mane with your hands. You can grab the longest manes on the left and right. It won't hurt, but don't touch the back of the head. There are itchy flesh here."

Du Nan showed him where he could grab and where he couldn't touch, with a serious look on his face.

Nodding, Zhu Ji signaled that she was clear, and rode the red unicorn for a few meters in front of Du Nan. Du Nan clapped her hands to signal that it was all right, and then swiftly rode on Ah Qingjin, the green-gold unicorn Trotting side by side with the flaming dragon, first ran in the woods, and then flew above the trees, and flew in the sky for a while, the lush woods and wild flowers on the roadside quickly passed behind them , the gentle spring breeze gently blows over their faces, if they are not separated from their relatives, this is really a good place to go.

It's just that they walked for a long time without seeing anyone, and in the end Ah Qingjin's eyes were good, and suddenly he swooped down and flew them down from the sky, only then did they see someone just below.

It's just this person... Du Nan withdrew his hand that was about to pat him on the shoulder to ask for directions, and frowned.

This man looked very strange.

The man Ah Qingjin saw was a burly man, two heads taller than Du Nan, with big arms and round waist, thick beard and hair. Although his stature was unusually tall, in Du Nan's eyes, he was fine. Men are always of this height, and it's because of this person's weird expression and weird clothes.

Wearing a tattered armor, this man was covered in blood, and there were even several arrows pierced into his body on his chest. If you look at his expression carefully, this man's expression is also very strange, his eyes are wide open, and he is angry. ,But……

It's strange to be furious all the time, not to mention that his eyes are always looking forward, but in front... there is nothing but trees...

Du Nan was watching the big man frowning, when suddenly, his sleeve was slightly pulled, and he turned his head to see that it was Zhu Ji, who gestured to him in a silent gesture, and then pointed to the side with that finger.Looking over with his fingers, Du Nan was startled: he just realized that there were many people around him!

But these people are also very weird!

Like the strong man before, most of the people around were wearing tattered armor, but the armor on most of them didn't look like the well-made ones on the big man. If the strong man looked like a general, the people next to him were probably ordinary. Soldiers, however, there are many wounds on their bodies, even more terrifying, such as knife wounds, gunshot wounds, arrow wounds... the wounds that slid across half of the face are still minor wounds, and many people are missing arms and legs at all!

It's all like this, they are still walking forward, just like the strong man, they are walking forward, seemingly in the same direction, but without purpose.

Du Nan even saw a war horse!Just like the humans next to it, the war horse was also full of arrows.

How is this going?

Du Nan and Zhu Ji looked at each other.Mixed in this group of "people", they walked forward for a while, maybe a mile, and the "people" around them began to decrease.

First, the body turned into a phantom, and then the wind blew and completely dissipated, as if it had never existed. Seeing the "people" in front of him disappear one by one, Du Nan felt goose bumps on his back.

He even touched the goose bumps on his back, wouldn't he be a "soul" now?Does this body exist or not?Could it be that he and Angelica are dead?This is when such an unbelievable thing happened...

It's just that their bodies didn't disperse after all. On the contrary, the strong man walking in front of them, the wounds visible to the naked eye disappeared unconsciously, and the arrows inserted by Qi Gen seemed to be pushed out one by one. It disappeared as soon as it fell, and the blood stains on his face were scattered with the wind like dried dust...

At the same time, there was a new person beside them——a woman in extremely gorgeous clothes ← her neck was still half stretched, and her whole head was thrown back heavily together with the beading jewels on it. Go; an old man, there is no defect in the body, but his face is horribly dark, I am afraid that he has taken some kind of drastic thing; Not big, one is tall and strong, with a missing right arm, and the other looks like a scholar, tall, and there is no major defect on his body, but there is a scar on his face, which runs straight from his left eye. Slips under the chin and looks scary.

Everyone was the same, walking forward with a numb face, but the further they walked, Du Nan found that the wounds on their bodies were getting better, and he couldn't help looking at himself again—but there was no wound on his body , what is found in others cannot be verified in himself.

Just as he was thinking, his left hand was suddenly pulled, and the person holding him was naturally Zhu Ji, who signaled him not to move rashly with his eyes, only then did Du Nan realize: It seems... that he has reached his destination?

The front is covered by a tree full of flowers, and if you look hard behind the corolla, you will find a village hidden there.At the entrance of the village, an old woman was sitting at this moment.

She looks very old, the exposed parts of her face and neck are wrinkled, her eyes are completely covered by wrinkles, there are two deep wrinkles on both sides of her mouth, the flesh on her cheeks is dry and drooping, The corners of her mouth were also drooping, looking at her in an unfriendly manner.

This old woman, who seemed not to be trifled with, set up a pot at the entrance of the village. She didn't know what was boiled in the pot. A stack of large bowls was stacked high, and paper and pens were placed beside the bowls. Seeing her, Du Nan was stunned.

"Let's pretend to be the same as everyone else around." He heard Zhu Ji whisper quickly in his ear.

Nodding slightly, Du Nan signaled that he knew.

Immediately afterwards, he put on a straight face, forced himself to look like the person next to him, and walked forward together with the others.

Everyone lined up unconsciously and stood in front of the old woman's pot.

Du Nan could already smell the contents of the pot.

It was a sweet fragrance, like the smell of flowers mixed with honey, it smelled very good, and it was steaming, but at this moment, smelling this smell, he only felt that this place was even weirder.

Then he heard the old woman speak—"Come here, drink this bowl of soup, warm your body, and then you won't feel bad."

He picked up a large bowl with his left hand, tilted the spoon in his right hand, and a stream of red soup fell from the spoon into the sea bowl. He handed the bowl to the strong man at the front, and the strong man drank it in a daze.

The old woman kept using the spoon, and then filled a bowl of soup for the woman and the old man in fine clothes behind him. While calling them to drink the soup, she put down the spoon and wiped her hands on the apron around her waist. The strong man and the others looked in the direction: "Two young people, one old man, right? You are a family from now on. You are a young couple, and you are their father. That's it. The penultimate house in a row of houses is your home, here is the key, you can take it."

"Go home and rest, get some sleep, and you'll be fine the next day!"

As the old woman spoke, she pushed their bodies towards the village.

Seeing that the three of them walked straight towards the east of the village despite being in a state of confusion, the old woman put down her pen, picked up a big spoon and a large bowl again, and greeted the people behind.

"Come on, you guys also drink a bowl of my soup, tomorrow you won't be hurt anywhere, everything will be fine..."

"Well...you are two young people too, and there is one...younger?" Still putting down the spoon and grabbing the pen, the old woman raised her eyes to look at the faces of the three of them...

Du Nan seriously suspected that she hadn't seen anything at all, because immediately afterwards, she said—"You are a family from now on, you are a young couple, and you are their son. The last house in the row of houses is your house, take the key and go to open the door."

"Go home and rest, get a good night's sleep, everything will be fine the next day."

After finishing speaking, she patted the backs of the three big and small men and urged them to pass.

That's right!This time, these three people are all men!A young boy, and the other two are those two young men!

Du Nan felt that the old woman probably didn't even look at it!After all, her eyelids are so thick!

It's just that it's not his turn to express his opinion at this time, because everyone in front has left now, and only he and Zhu Ji are left in front of the booth.

A total of four bowls of pink soup were filled by the old woman, two bowls were in the hands of the two of them, and the other two bowls were put on the ground by the old woman, and placed in front of Hong Yanruo and Ah Qingjin.

"Drink it, drink my sweet soup from Mrs. Meng, and everything will be fine for you, drink it, drink it quickly..."

Mrs. Meng? !

Hearing this word, Du Nan almost threw away the soup bowl in his hand.
